Washington: As President Donald Trump created history by becoming the only US president to be impeached twice, a source on Wednesday said the outgoing President is now in self-pity mode.
"He's in self-pity mode," the source told CNN.
CNN reported that the view among many close to Trump is "his actions led to here, no one else," adding, "he instigated a mob to charge on the Capitol building to stop de-certification (of the Electoral College votes that certified President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the election), he's not going to find a lot of sympathetic Republicans."

Trump allies in and out of the White House "publicly defended him" and sent out talking points throughout the impeachment proceeding during the last impeachment effort (in 2020). However, Trump was left to fend for himself at the White House, releasing a statement first given to Fox News denouncing further violence, followed by a five-minute video.
"He's by himself, not a lot of people to bounce ideas off of, whenever that happens he goes to his worst instincts. Now that Twitter isn't available God only knows what the outlet will be," the source said.
